Trumps background crowds try to look browner

I know a lot of you probably dont watch Trumps rallies.
For me, they are like train wrecks and I still keep waiting for a total meltdown.
Anyway, since his new "black and brown outreach", I have noticed that they are putting as many people of color as they can (maybe the only ones they can find in the crowd) right behind him so they are picked up by the cameras.

Just imagine being a Trump staffer right before an event roaming the crowd trying to find people of color and convince them to move and stand behind Trump.
"Um, excuse me, um um...the campaign is...um , really glad ur here, and Mr.Trump would love for you to come...um um...stand, like, you know, right behind him....um, and, yeah, I hate to ask this, but, um um,.you really do support Mr.Trump right?....like, um youre not a secret Hillary supporter here to just...you know...I mean...you know...disrupt things?"

browner. Even if it is only to assuage the fears of Trump's racism for white college educated Republicans and not to actually appeal to brown voters, it is a change in power. Obama has changed the hearts of some and thus the nation.

ask rMoney how well the brownwashing worked for him with Latinos. Who here remembers his fake tan for Univision?
